NOVELTIES IN CeRSETS AND HOSIERY
There was time when black stock

bad taste easy sometimes, and the rage
for black at one time reached such a
height that entire suits of undercloth-

women. from the black silk underwear
to the black merino petticoat. This
fashion, however. has greatly changed

French women know the wisdom Of
wearing laces and soft silks, bright rib
bOns and pretty caps in the morning.
They would probably be shocked if any
one suggested linen collar OF tight
gown for breakfast. Their English and
American cousins are learning from
them, and as consequence some very
chic morning jackets are showing by
our leading cOstumerS this fall. China
silks and crepeS and soft ribbons are
preferred for these, and where extra
warmth is desired they are lined with
elder-down cloth or some similar f1eecy
goods.
One of the newest shapes is shown in
the GLOBES illustration. The model is
of pale-blue China silk, which is crimped,
and the trimming is of olive-green and
rOse-pink velvet and satin ribbon. This
shape is particularly comfortable and
easy, and yet is graceful.
Another model, le:Oming for slender
forms, has a yoke and full putfed

Boston Post.
Boston has shown of late that her
women are not behind the men in their
enthusiasm for out-Of-door pleasures,
and it is agreeable to note how much
benefit as well as genuine pleasure the
lady riders after the beagles in the Bev-
erly hunts have got from the sport this
fall. Some of the prettiest riding was
Dy the young matrOns. Fearless, grace
ful and daring are these fine riders,
and, considering how little chance the
New England climate gives them, it
is altogether surprising that they ride
SO well. The sparkle in the eye, the
glow of health on the cheek, both be-
speak the value of the graceful and
healthful exercise. The excitement of
Jumping pasture bars and fences only
lends an added Zest to the fun. No
more becoming costume is known in
these days in which to set off the grace
and refinement of feminine beauty than
the riding habit, and wonder it is that
more beautiful women are not painted
IN It,. Our auntS and grandmOtherS re-
member the time when it was every
society lady's ambition to be painted in
the graceful attitude of playing on the
harp. Why not now the equestrienne
portrait?

Their next eccentricity will be cock

already for pits. and the ladies promise
to entertain their friends the coming

They have been doing a good deal in

their sporting friends will have an OPP

Take cross-wise piece of the mate
rial long enough to reach from two
inches above the arm pits to the waist
line. Lay this in twO-inch tucks, all
going towards the center. Make SIM
liar piece for the back. After the pieces
are tucked make each one as wide as
half the measure of the bust, sew one
end to the skirt, making the belt as long
as the waists about, and bind the top
with the material or with cOrding of
velvet, first cutting out piece under
each arm so that it sets easy. Make
puffed sleeves to set over strap pass
ing over the shoulder. The sleeves are
made Of plain piece cut cross-wise and
gathered top and bottom, the gatherings
being mostly on top.
For guimpe pattern should be
bought. One with puffed sleeves is
best. There SnOuld be two or three
guimpes to such dress, one of crimson

one of dark green. A belt of velvet to
match each guimpe would be pretty.

cost more than s., including the three
guimpes, and would furnish school
gown for the greater part of the winter.

all fashionable fads and fancies. Six
titled women in the gay capital of
France have thrown off their petticoats
and put on male attire. They are all
well known and may be seen any fine
day displaying their forms in tight
fitting coat and pants. The dainty fee
peep out from beneath wellSprung
trousers cased in the finest patent leath-
erS, and the swellS are already proud to
be seen with them, says the New York
journal.
As nothing is so taking in Paris as an
odd new thing, the ladies are for the
moment creating sensation. How long
it will last depends upon the next nOy-
city.
Those six ladies have formed an asso-
citation and started club. Here they
receive guests in the regular style. and
cigarettes and other comforts usual in
clubs are said to circulate there freely.
The Marchioness of BeIbOeuf is at the
head of the society, and is reported as
being president of the club. She is well
known in a certain, what many called
rushing society in Paris, and is bold
and daring woman. She has no preju-
dices, and is startlingly Independent.
She is sister of the present due de
Morny. and illustrates in her life a
good spice of the family history. Moth
ing seems to be too daring for her, and
what another woman would shy at she
accomplishes.
Not long since she wished to join a
select and highly fashionable tennis
club. As soon as her inclination be-
came known, there was some grumbling.
She heard cf it, of course. but took no
more notice of it than if the good peo-
pie who made it had no existence for
her. She got Nine de'Gallifet, one of
the most popular ard distinguished
women in Paris, to propose her, but it
was of no avail; in spite of the eminence

near bringing on a case of tenatnus.
When man gets Seven-eighthS of his
hand back of his front teeth and Wrest-
les with one of the hinges of his Jaw. as
he tries to pry grape seed out of the
nine-hole into which it has quietly
fallen, he offers violence to the feelings
of every person within seeing distance
from him. and if the attention of the
Humane society could be directed to him
at the precise moment it is not at all
impossible that the judge of the police
court would be dealing with him next
morning on a charge of cruelty to ami
mails. Fingers were made before tooth
picks, of course, but that is no excuse
for avoiding the gentle and insinuating
use OF the wooden picks, or the QuillS,
or the gold picks or any other kind of
picks that are in the market. 1t is a
crime to jab the fingers and thumb into
the large facial Orifice known as the
mouth in search of stray fiber of meat
or wayward pellet of 6read-a crime
that cries out to the heavens of good
breeding and that will not be allowed to
go unwhipt of justice. Some gentleman
will come along one of these DAYS with
an object all sublime which he shall
achieve in time-as per the Mikado
rhyme-to make the punishment fit the
crime-and when he does he shouldn't
forget that the man with the toothpick
thumb cannot have the punishment
made any too hard for him to suit the
rest of the public.
Next to the finger fiend comes the de-
mon who picks his teeth with a fork.
He ffourishes at the clearinghouse ia
bic, where toothpicks are as great lux
ury as menu of unhaShed hash. 1t
makes no difference how round or blunt
the prong of the fork may be, the rash
and impetuOuS boarder accommodates it
to the chinks between his teeth and the
ore shafts that descend through them.
He seizes the fork with the grip which
a blacksmith gives a tack-hammer when
he is in the trembling and agltated con-
dition of man who has missed the tack
four times and is now going to knock it
galley-west or die in the attempt.

GENTLENEss TO THE ERRING

Think gently of the erring:
Ye know not of the power
With which the dark temptation came
In some unguarded hour
Ye may not know how earnestly
They struggled, or how well.
Until the hour of weakness came.
And sadly thus they fell.
Think gently of the erring;
oh, do not thou forget,
However darkly stain'd by sin,
He is thy brother yet.
Heir of the self-same heritage,
Child of the self-same God,
He has but stumbled in the path
Thou hast in weakness trod.

PERMISSION TO GO HOME.

Bess went to church one suItry day;
She kept awake, I'm glad to say,
Till 'fourthly'' started on its way.
Then moments into hours grew;
oh dear. oh dear. what should she do?
Unseen, she glided from the pew.
And up the aisle demurely went.
On some absorbing mission bent,
Her eyes filed with a look intent.
She stopped and said, in plaintive tone,
With hand uplifted toward the dome,
Please, preacher-man, can go homer
The treble voice, bell-like in sound.

any part of it, would have in their
kitchens an easy lounge where they
could lie down for twenty minutes
